re: Trade Our First Pick to the Chiefs for LT Brandon Albert?(Posted by Hazelnut on 3/29/13 at 10:01 am to Hugo Stiglitz)

They'd probably have to take on a contract or two in order for us to be able to afford him. Plus, I dont know if I'd want to trade our first round pick for a position that we've had a reputation of just plugging guys in and them doing well.

I get that. But I dont think giving them our first round pick (especially when we dont even have a second rounder) is worth it. We could find other ways to get a serviceable LT without trading our first round pick.

We already have a limited amount of draft picks as it is to try and shore up the defense as much as we can. If that defense doesn't improve I don't care if you add the top 5 offensive lineman in the nfl and megatron to the offense we aren't going to win in the playoffs.

You want to piss away yet ANOTHER first round pick? So two years in a row, in a league where winners are built in the draft, you want to not have a first OR second round pick in back to back drafts?

For a position that has been proven over 7 years with the current staff that we don't "need" a pro-bowler and a player who, while proven, has also been inconsistent. If he was so great everyone wouldn't have the Chiefs taking a LT first overall.

When we had the worst defense EVER.

I agree we need a LT, and I also agree that I'd like to see a better player there than we've had in the past. But absolutely, positively no possible way I'm trading our first rounder this year unless it's to move back and acqure more picks. We've handcuffed ourselves enough with drafts
